From your Rep.....
Hello Midwest Members! I hope your Memorial Day holiday weekend was a great one and you all got out and rode a coaster or two. Quite a few changes are taking place in our region, but all are positive ones that will continue to help us strive to be the #1 ACE Region! The loss of Regional Rep. Asst., Andy Hoffman, increases the search and need for a new Midwest Regional Rep. Asst. Even if your a new member, if you feel you have some extra time and something positive to add to your regional representative team, please contact me. As Summer is officially underway and in full swing, our most recent poll question (What parks do you plan on visiting this year?) shows that you all while be burning up those queue lines. Look below to see where all everyone is going! And don't forget to add one other trip to your agenda this Summer, the ACE Midwest STORM at Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom on Sat. July 11th! More information on this event below. Have a great summer everyone and contact me if you should have any questions or need anything. See you at an ACE event soon!
